Chapter 378

"Duke, I know it's you!" Dew stood inside and talked to herself. "I was wrong four years ago. I made a serious mistake. I should not have pretended to be the children's mother! Even though I lied to you, I gave the two children my heart and soul over these four years, and I never did anything to harm George and Harold. Why do you have to do this to me? Why are you doing this to Daugherty Corporation?"

Adina, who was standing outside, instantly froze when she heard it.

So Duke was aware of the issue with the children? Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

When did he know about it?

Before she could think about it, she heard Dew's voice growing more agitated.

"I've been waiting for you for the past four years, giving the Winters family four years of my youth, and this is how you treat me? You never put me in your eyes! You never wanted to marry me! The Daugherty family has never benefited from the Winters family either, so why are you treating me like this?" Dew roared," I guess you just want to kill me, huh? If you want to me die, George and I shall die together! My path to death won't be too lonely with the Winters family prince by my side!"

She fiercely yanked the unconscious George in her hand.

Her force was so strong that it immediately roused George and caused him to let out a muffled grunt in pain.

Adina, who was standing outside, could no longer remain calm, and she rushed in right away.

When her eyes acclimated to the darkness, she quickly gained

clarity of the surroundings.

She saw Dew holding George's arm. Her elbow was locked around his neck. Blood had congealed on the back of the child's skull in both black and crimson colors. Adina's heart was clenching up. "What did you do to George?"

"It's you!" Dew loosened up, and she suddenly sneered, "How did you get here? What brought you here? Because of the mother son connection?" George was being held by the neck and in a stage of being half dazed and half awake. When he heard what Dew said, he opened his eyes wide.

He looked towards Adina who suddenly appeared in front of him. His gaze became very complicated at that instant.

Adina let out a sigh of relief as she saw George open his eyes.

She raised her eyes and stared coldly at Dew, saying word by word, "Do you notice how stupidly you're acting right now?"

"Adina, you are abhorrent. Just yesterday, you promised to help me keep this secret, yet today Duke already knew!" Dew sneered, "He now hates me so much and wanted to dismember me. Aren't you very proud? However, I can assure you that I won't let you get away with it! If I die, I will let George be buried with me, want you and Duke to live in remorse for the rest of your life!" As her words fell, she put force into her elbow.

George struggled to take a breath. He gasped hard, and he looked like he was suffering.

Dew laughed, "George, this was how your daddy used to treat me. Is this feeling particularly unpleasant?"

"Dew, stop it!"

Adina's heart was aching with anger.

Just as she took a step forward, Dew took a step back, maintaining a three to a five-step gap between them.

"You better not come over." Dew grinned slyly. "If you get too close, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist strangling this kid to death."

George clenched his fist tight in response to her words, which were immensely icy and vengeful.

He once sincerely took this woman as his mother, but now she was trying to kill him by strangling him.

He felt like wanting to slap himself in the face for once trying to love and respect her.

How could he have gotten himself into this situation if he had not put so much trust in Dew?

"As long as you let go of George, I will do whatever you wish." Adina said slowly, "I know you hate me. Whatever hatred you have, you can come at me. It has nothing to do with George." George's entire body froze when he heard what she had to say.

Why had Adina come to rescue him? Why would she go to such lengths to save him?

What did Dew mean earlier when she spoke about the connection between mother and son?

An incredible thought then came up in George's mind...
